Map
Note - The park is in two sections with locations as noted
above.
Here are some views of Washington Crossing Historic Park. This was the spot
where General Washington crossed the Delaware River to defeat the Hessians at
Trenton. The Colonial Army's victory was a crucial turning point in the
Revolutionary War.
You can view several historical colonial buildings and a shed housing the
Durham boats that Washington used to move his troops across the river.
Washington Crossing is about two
miles north of I-95 on Route 32 (River Road). The correct name of the
park is Washington Crossing, not Washington's Crossing. The park is
separated. The Pictures here are of the southern part of the park. This is
where the Visitor's Center is located and is known as the McConkey's Ferry
Section. The northern part is 3.5 miles north and is known as the
Thompton's Mill section.
Adjacent to the Thompson's Mill section of the park is the Bowman's Hill
Tower and Wildflower Preserve.
